With their 6 point advantage in the league table, Guarani fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Ponte Preta.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Copa do Brasil.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
Guarani form and stats
1 victory, 2 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Guarani, who have the most scored goals (12) in Paulista A1, have to build on here at Estádio Brinco de Ouro da Princesa in the Paulista A1. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
Guarani are confident in defense, having played 243 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
It's back home for Guarani, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Ituano away with the result 2-0. Todinho Júnior (2) found the net in that victory. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Agua Santa.
The manager T. Carpini Barbosa will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Botafogo SP in only four days.
Guarani are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 4 games. Guarani have conceded 4 in these home matches.
Ponte Preta form and stats
1 win, 0 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Ponte Preta playing as the away team in the Paulista A1 this season. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Ponte Preta are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Ponte Preta won their last game, 3-0 versus Afogados played at home. A loss against Bragantino was the result prior to that, in a Paulista A1 home game.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Ponte Preta manager J. Brigatti as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Afogados.
The attacking power of Ponte Preta when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. As opposed to that, Ponte Preta have seen the ball go into their own net 5 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Guarani won one, Ponte Preta won six and three draws. five games with over 2,5 goals, five matches with two goals or less.Guarani missing players
